Yesterday VIBE put up some excerpts for Eminem’s cover story. Now it’s the Doctor’s turn. Hit the jump for his thoughts on Detox’s delay, premature leaks and an upcoming instrumental album.
When you first announced Detox did you think it would take this long?
Absolutely not. I thought it would take at worst case a couple of years. For example, actual work time on The Chronic was nine months and actual work time on my last album, 2001, was about 10 months. The actual work time on this album is about half of that, where I’m seriously focusing on it. There is always something coming up. Like signing talent, old and new.So “Under Pressure” leaking was killer.
It was a little bit more frustrating because at least “Crack a Bottle” had a hook on it. I wouldn’t be as mad at a leak if the song was done.Can you blame the fans for wanting to hear something after all this time?
Absolutely not. I’m not mad at the fans. I’m mad at the person that leaked the shit. I have no idea how it got out. It’s not even worth looking to see who did it. It happens. The most painful part about it is that I’m passionate about what I do so people should hear it in the right form.There were some other reference tracks that leaked with T.I. and Ludacris lyrics. Were those legit?
Two of them were. Somebody actually hacked into our emails, so that made our red flags go up. We’re in a new age and that’s a sign: Wake up motherfucker. You have to be more careful with your shit. That’s all there is to it. I know what’s up now.You mentioned a hip-hop album without rapping. Will we ever hear a Dr. Dre instrumental album?
Oh yeah, that’s in the works. An instrumental album is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I have the ideas for it. I want to call it The Planets. I don’t even know if I should be saying this, but fuck it. [Laughs.] It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet. I’ve been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.

BITCHES LOVE MY MAN MEAT
*dead* ^
lol I would love if he comes out with that Instrumental album for real. That would be a must have IF it comes out. >_>
I say The Planets is coming out in 2020! lol
DRE, WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE (besides Eminem)
lol @ this nigga sayin “in my spare time”. you aint got no spare time til detox drops
Detox took so long cuz he was signing talent. What talent!?!?!?
Yeah right nigga!
the planets? nigga are you serious? get off the HGH, stop fuckin studying the plants lol and go finish detox first yo!
LoL stop lying already to errbody and that Under Pressure was ASSS and no mastering will change that lame theme, lame dre verse and the fact tat he is old as fuck
but yo no hatin on dre, i hope detox wont fail
You all need to shut the fuck up.. His production credits and albums speak for themselves, if he wants to put it out in twenty, let him fucking do it. Shut the fuck up and just let it drop when it drops.. Besides that, he’s had so many leaks, it’s enough to at least have satisfied you a little over the years…
lol @ this nigga sayin “in my spare time”. you aint got no spare time til detox drops
————————————————————-
I LOLed hard as hell. That’s the truth though.
In case yall didn’t know, The Planets isn’t an original idea. The Planets is a classical suite by Gustav Holst, most people who played in band prob know that. Could be dope to hear a hip hop interpretation but @Mccain I’m with ya, finish Detox before talking bout anything else.
Can you blame the fans for wanting to hear something after all this time?
Absolutely not. I’m not mad at the fans. I’m mad at the person that leaked the shit. I have no idea how it got out. It’s not even worth looking to see who did it. It happens. The most painful part about it is that I’m passionate about what I do so people should hear it in the right form.
im mad at the leaker cuz he didn’t pick a better song to fuckin leak. gotdamn this is the only thing in hip hop that i want right now and i’ve had to wait 9 yrs
signing talent, like who?
^i was just about to say that, holst already did that shit.
i love dre but thats a full time jack move.
This nigga think he’s Stevie Wonder or somethin’…Hes full o shit like a faggots mattress!
Great so now Dre is a scientologist
A full time jack move how jay named 3 of his album the blueprint after krs and who the fuck says jack move
This album is gonna be average at best. His demand will have died down by the time the thing actually drops, unless he has Em all over the CD. People eat Em’s music up, no matter how wack some of it may be.
hhhhhmmmmm, The Planets is a cool concept… and the wait on Detox is just buggin at this point… he needa put in work on that album…
dope cover BTW… yea, they def look older, but it looks like Em & Dre from back in the day, nah meen… seein them together gotta get you excited… illness…
like someone already said- Stevie Wonder already did the “Planets” concept- still interested in a Dr Dre interpretation though
I forgot about Dre.
Mark your calendars, Detox to be released Nevuarary 30th, 2012
We all just forgot this is the best producer ever.
Shut the fuck up mf haterz

Oh, you mean Rakim, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Game, Bishop Lamont, Bobby Creekwater, Obie Trice, Marsha Ambrosius, Busta Rhymes, Stat Quo, Eve, The Firm, Focus… & a shit load of others? All of them left (though Game came back) there is very little excuses for Detox, if the album’s coming, then release it and if you’re pushin it back cuz you think it’s wack just scrap it cuz nobody has anymore patience, we’ve waited 11 years for the album. And we totally forgot your album, Under Pressure was hot trash. If it’s more like that then give it up Dre, work on your instrumental album.
Under pressure was a disappointment he better have some better shit then that on the album
Something’s always coming up? GTFOH…I was in the 8th grade when 2001 dropped now a muafucka done graduated college lol…this muthafucka Dre act like his beats be so complex or has complex samples or something lol…there are other producers that have been in more demand than Dre has in the past years, doing way more shit outside of their own projects and still been able to be consistent with their own shit…please dre
Things keep coming up? Nigga stop making over priced headphones and computers and maybe ull have some time. and signing talent? every1 thats signed to Aftermath which the expection of like 4 people never realsed there album and basically got fucked.
annd whatever happned to that dude i cant even remeber his name anymore who signed to g-unit/shady/aftermath awhile back? did he die or something
Planets? How about you get Detox out first, fucking idiot.
@Hear To Hate
ROFL!!!!
“Hacked our emails” <—lol.. pls
If Dre was smart, he’d ATLEAST drop a mixtape of stuff that would sorta hold people over…seriously, I’m not hatin in anyway, shape or form, but damn…even I’m gettin tired of the excuses that he gives as to why he aint dropped Detox AND THEN to mention another possible album…smgdh in pure disappointment & frustration.
look at dre’s hand holding the needle and tell me it dont look like an alien hand? looks like a fetus is fightin its way outta his wrist.
OH NO! I KNOW THIS DUDE AIN’T TRYING TO COME OUT WITH OTHER SHIT WHEN WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR DETOX SINCE I WAS IN THE FIFTH GRADE!
DETOX TO ME IS LIKE A MYTHICAL UNICORN, WHO MAKES VARIOUS APPEARANCES (LIKE THE SONGS THAT GET LEAKED) BUT ONE DAY WE SHALL SEE IT IN IT’S FULL ENTIRETY!
LOL @ THE PLANETS… I THINK MARS WILL BANG! THAT WILL HAVE THE GAME’S ADLIBS ON THAT TRACK!

Eminem Recovery review
Fuck this nigga!
Seriously. I think media should give this old fool the cold shoulder. He should not get all this publicity when all he does with it is selling fucking headphones. I dont think Dre is about music anymore. It is about getting as much fucking money before he retires.
Detox will never be released.
FUCK DETOX!!
at this point ..regardless if Detox is good or not.. errbody still gonna hate onnit.. WATCH
damn no ideas original. “the planets” done by holst in the 1900s then by tomita (who did his in surround sound) now dre. oh and detox is never dropping it cant possibly live up to the hype, damned if he do damned if he dont.
wooooow.
http://www.datpiff.com/Fig_Justlisten.m139209.html
shit, whatever. Any time I hear anything about when detox is gonna drop, I don’t even listen anymore. Let him take as long as he needs. I’d rather that then him rush and put out a shitty album. As far.
and I don’t give a fuck what anyone says about that instrumental album, it sounds sick as hell.
Make an album based on what he thinks the “planets” sound like lol… Hmm should be interesting lol
Just don’t doubt him… I’m pretty sure there’s reasons for long delays… but it is kinda sad that it takes years for an album
lol@ ppl who be sayin “yooooo stop hatin mofokkas he is the best producer ever” nigga get da fuck outta here, you’re only the best producer IF you produce the best shit RIGHT FUCKIN NOW, what you done in the past stays in the past, much respect for that, but where is your best shit RIGHT NOW nigga? under pressure? hell i dunno, but who am i to judge….
lol dre on sum magic mushrooms shit, the planets lol
Looking forward to that instrumental album…concept be dope. Really want to hear Detox first though…and a finished version of Under Pressure. I hope he blows everyone away (Y)
